Such a nice guy. He helped me after closing replacing my head lights and when I went to pay him he said not to worry about it. I will be taking my car to him from now on. And the next time I do I will be definitely giving him a tip. Best mechanic experience I have ever had.

Id used Apex Auto Services for many years when I lived in Seattle. The owner, Mr. Eizo Matsuda, is the most honest and kindhearted mechanic Ive ever met. He is extremely knowledgeable about cars, and is very passionate about helping his customers. He never recommended me to do unnecessary services, and saved me from a lot of headaches. Unfortunately, I moved to a different state, so I cannot take my car to his shop anymore. I wish I could bring my car to his shop now so that I can drive it with confidence.

I cant say enough about this place! Eizo Matsuda spent 45 minutes going over issues that others suggested I review and my own concerns. He was happy to point things out to me and was not condescending at all, which is common as I am a woman. I am familiar with cars and he answered my specific questions frankly. His prices are transparent and reasonable!I am blessed to have found him! Thank you Yelp! This is my guy from now on!

I strongly recommend this place for your vehicle repair or maintenance whatever you need. Work done right, kindness and polite.

So first of all: I havent used them for repairs yet, but I called them about a service issue because of good reviews here.The person I spoke to on the phone (didnt catch a name) was *incredibly* helpful and honest and said that my problem (a gutless engine plus dead speedometer) sounded like a sensor issue that his shop wasnt equipped to diagnose, and directed me to the local dealership. Didnt make a dime off the call, and he was willing to take ten minutes to discuss it with me and direct me to his competitors service.How rare is that level of helpfulness and honesty in this day and age?? I know Ill be using Apex for other repairs going forward!

Place is the absolute best. They take pictures of everything and show you when something is wrong. They go out of their way to help serve their customers. Highly recommend coming here for service.

Ive gone to Apex Auto for years; theyre the best mechanics Ive ever used for my cars. The owner provides all details of what he fixed, what he recommends you watch for, why he used a certain part for a repair, etc. Im so appreciative to have this business in my neighborhood!

Honest. Helpful. Knowledgeable. Its hard to find a shop like this and I hope to remain a customer for life. Eizo has gone out of his way to give advice to me over the phone and in-person. Perhaps my favorite part is that you can tell he has a fix-the-root-cause mentality rather than just opting for replacing parts as a first step. I feel confident when driving my car out of his shop. And the photos he takes of all the work he has done to show you at the end? So thoughtful :)

I’m rating this based on my experience over the phone. That tells you something. He’s just an amazing and honest mechanic. He went out of his way on consulting me about an aftermarket brake job without even meeting me in person. I will absolutely come here for my other needs in the future.

Repeat customer. Top knock service, highly recommended.

Very friendly and knowledgeable.Will recommend.

Definitely my go-to auto mechanic!! Professional, courteous, honest, and effective. I have taken my 2007 Camry for various services several times for fabulous fixes.

The most honest auto repair place in town

Highly recommend! I won’t take my car anywhere else. The owner is delightful to work with and really took his time explaining what needed to be done with my car. He left a laminated write up with before and after photos of what he worked on for my records. Very happy with the service and price point.

Honest and nice. Recommended the best options for me and not the one that makes them money.

Really professional.

Best mechanic! trustworthy, excellent service, and just all round amazing. The mechanic takes pictures of everything that needs to be replaced so you can see the before and after pictures. He doesnt replace something that doesnt need to be replaced.

Honest and dependable. Takes photos of work before and after. That should speak for itself.

Very helpful and friendly! They were able to diagnose my Toyota MR2/MRS problem over the phone and they were right!

Excellent service & honest mechanics that will ask whats wrong before doing any work and theyll take pictures of all the work thats done. The Best place to fix your 🚗 or U can buy a used car too.

Eizo is amazing. He is super honest, gives solid advice on the options you have for repairs, and is a pleasure to work with. I cant recommend him enough. If you have a Japanese car in Seattle this is the place to take it.

My Japanese wife and I have used them for several years. We couldnt recommend them enough! Honest, knowledgeable, reasonable pricing, helpful and more.

*****The VERY BEST Automotive Repair Shop*****

The best Japanese Vehicle Mechanic around. (Note: they dont do Kia or other brands)Moving from their south Seattle location where they were also the best - you wont find a better or more honest mechanic around. Mechanic is actually incorrect as technician fits more of what they do. High quality work with amazing dective skills Ive pulled a car up and gotten a diagnosis on the spot for many problems.Ive been a customer over 15 years and wont even buy another type of vehicle now, because if Apex doesnt work on it I dont really want to own it. (Except for my Vespa - whole different thing).Ive never been over-charged and never given a repair I didnt need. I would give this place more stars if it were possible.

Great and professional shop

Friendly service, great knowledge, they stay pretty busy, but got me out fast

Eizo runs a tight shop. Ive gone to Apex for 11 years, since Georgetown, and no bad experiences. On any big work, from timing belt to motor mounts to brake jobs, he completes it on schedule, first pass, and photo documents it to boot. When I had multiple problems on an aging Civic he triaged and stack ranked the must fix now/safety issues to the needs fixing but can wait. He respects his customers and hes earned my business.

Eizo is fantastic! Every repair or service comes with photos of work done and description. Very honest and knoledgeable!

I have a 1990 Corolla Wagon and Eizo at Apex Auto Services and his staff have always done an excellent job of taking care of it. He is very knowledgeable, shows pictures of the actual work and parts he has worked on. He works very carefully- some of the parts were rusted in place but he took the time to gently work them loose with lubricants. He does only what is needed. Ive had timing belt replaced, tensioner, camshaft and crankshaft seals, valve cover gasket, fuel filter, air filter, distributor and rotor and pvc valve and spark plugs replaced in 2008. This year, May 2014, we had the brakes worked on, transmission filter replaced and a new thermostat and replacement of a cracked exhaust manifold. The car has been running great throughout this time. Weve done 2 round trips to New Mexico without problems. His attention to detail, knowledge, and skill is superb. He is really a nice fellow. He is truly gifted. Im glad he is young enough to outlast me because I do not want any other mechanic servicing my car.

The best.

Great owner! !

Eizo is the best
